hand in marriage. Jim consents to the union and Tex rushes to tell Bill the good news, but is met by another pie in the face when Bill berates the pie for spoiling her engagement and then throws it. That night, Judge Harmon and Hank return from their buggy ride, having captured one of the bandits. After locking him in jail, they meet Hannegan and tell that they have captured bandit Dave Watson, who revealed the location of the gang's hideout. Soon after, Hannegan shoots Dave in his jail cell. He then arranges for Chief Big Thunder Cloud and his tribe to ambush the posse when they ride to the hideout. In the posse's absence, Hannegan and his gang plan to loot the town. After Tex and the others ride out, Bill begins to pack her suitcase and goes to Lola's dressing room to retrieve her costume. When Bill's dog Waffles uncovers Hannegan's disguise there, Bill tricks Lola into revealing Hannegan's plans. The two women fight and after Bill subdues Lola, the women of the town denounce her for being unfeminine. Bill tells them of the planned robbery and ambush, and recruits Bertha, one of the wives, to warn the posse. When Hannegan and his gang enter the saloon, Bill and the women pelt them with pans and brooms. By the time the posse arrives, the women have captured the outlaws, and Bill accidentally flattens Tex with a frying pan. Tex tells her he will just have to get used to it.
